All you need to brew all grain beer & dispense it. Works very well, but life has once again thrown a spanner in the works...so my loss is your gain. Keggle with stainless fittings & lid. Hop bag. Mash tun. Hoses. MashMaster thermometer. 2x 2400watt Immersion elements (only need one for a boil...

Hey folks, I have a weird one for you. A friend of mine had this happen & he thought it was his fault, suspecting heat-related issues, however he uses a fridge with STC-1000 & now the exact same thing has happened to me. I don't have a fridge, but an insulated box & loads of frozen water...

Hi all, I keep getting posted to locations at work where I can't find a HBS. Yellow Pages lists one in Cooma, but their website is down & further searching of the address shows it as a brewery, not a shop? Any ideas on where to grab some bits while in town? PZ.

Hi folks, I did a search & there appeared to have been one that closed last year, but I was wondering if there is currently a home brew store operating in Queanbeyan? Google got me nothing but shops that all appear to have closed too & god knows how long ago. Would prefer to visit Brew Your...

Hi people, My CO2 regulator is a Harris 601. Until recently, except for extended periods of non-use, I've always left the CO2 cylinder tap open all the time. So...I'm not sure if this recent experience is normal, or a sign that my regulator needs a service. Recently I've taken to turning...

Hi folks, I've got one of the "100 litre" cylinders. Happy to swap for a "60 litre" one if anyone is seeking the larger one? The 100L cylinder obviously holds more gas obviously, but needs to be sent back to SS at exchange time. I'm simply chasing a 60L one so I can run to Woolies in an...

Okay, I searched but didn't really find what I need to know. My usual schedule for ales goes like this: 18 degrees for 2 weeks, with a rise of 2-3 degrees for the last 24 or so hours. This works well. Now, the situation is that my cold box fits only 2 fermenters. It is currently occupied by...

Hi folks, I've tried searching heaps, but there is either a problem with my technique or the search function itself... So my mate silver soldered some fittings together for the mash tun & it's pink around the solder points. Is this just copper drawn out of the brass during heating & if so, is...

Been having some issues with US-05 of late, namely extensive lag time prior to obvious starting & stuck fermentation. Is anyone else experiencing the same? For example I threw down two worts yesterday, one with S-04 & one with two packets of US-05. The S-04 has by now thrown a massive...

Hey folks, just thought I'd share this find: http://stores.ebay.com.au/2014-online?_trksid=p2047675.l2563 Loads of useful stuff & very cheap! If anyone is hesitant, let me know & I'll report on the quality once my purchase of bits arrives :) PZ.

Hi folks, Putting together a new rig after not doing an AG since I left the forum years ago & my question for tonight is this: If I sparge with an equal quantity of water to that with which I mash, there'll be roughly 1/3 more sparge water ending up in the kettle than there will be run-off from...

Hi folks, I've got some (read: loads of) flowers that have been sitting in bags inside a freezer for around 5 years. The freezer door hasn't even been opened for at very least 4 years until tonight! LOL There are a variety of bittering & flavouring types such as Chinook, Cascade, POR, Saaz...

Hey there folks, Setting up a new rig, but haven't even got a cube for no chill yet...LOL Can somebody please give me a height measurement of a 20L cube? :) PZ.

All gone, sold, needed the money...badly! Hoping to get new kit together in a few months. PZ.

Hi all, I received some 6mm ID JG tubing from Ross & Josh today that I'd planned on using for my new gas line. It's got a considerably thinner sidewall than anything else I've ever used before...like really thin...only 1mm! :huh: Will it stand up to the pressures of force carbonation at...

Hi all, Due to space constraints I'm thinking of letting this baby go. It includes the following: 3x taps 3 way font Harris 601 Co2 regulator All gas/beer lines and ball-lock disconnects Fridgemate temperature controller Computer fan and power supply 2x 19L Corneleus kegs 1x 18L Rheem keg...

Hi all, I had only two pints of this mega-hoppy APA Ive got on tap last night and thought I was getting drunk really easilythen realised I actually felt stoned! :ph34r: Anyone else experienced this from a highly hopped beer? :huh: PZ.

What a shocking afternoon! Firstly it started to rain (very bad as I boil outside with an electric element :o ). Rain died down without soaking any connections, so that was ok. Then I dumped my 5 minute (110g of pellets) addition into the hop sock & it just turned into one lump of sludge...

Hi all, With a new/larger tun about to be built, I'm thinking of taking a day or two off work soon to screw around (brew around B) ) with various abnormal methods. One of which is what I believe to be Partigile (spelling?) brewing, or at least a variant of it. Now my question is, if I were...

This just arrived in the mail today: It came as a surprise gift from one of my mates' dads (not coincidentally, the guy who gave me my first fermenter) :) There are a few "all grain" recipes in here that look well worth a shot, although most of them (besides the Stouts) use a fair whack of...
